Large, heavy breasts can cause pain, self-consciousness and low self-esteem. If your breasts are preventing you from leading your best life, a reduction may be in your best interest.

Light. Manageable. And All Yours

It’s common for women with large breasts to feel weighed down by their chests – both literally and figuratively. By removing a precise amount of excess tissue, Dr. Larson can sculpt breasts that are still feminine and beautiful – but much easier to manage.

After a breast reduction with Dr. Larson, you can expect a chest that is:

The Procedure

Your breast reduction will be done under general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep and unable to feel any pain or discomfort. There are three techniques that Dr. Larson may use for your procedure: anchor, vertical and scarless. Here’s what you need to know about your options:

Anchor

The anchor is the standard breast reduction technique. As the most invasive method, it involves an incision around the nipple, down the front of the breast and along the breast crease. It tends to be best for our Tucson clients with extremely large breasts, as it allows for maximum tissue and skin removal.

Vertical

The vertical technique involves an incision around the nipple and down the front of the breast. It’s a popular option among our Tucson clients because it allows for significant tissue removal, but is associated with a smaller scar than the anchor. It’s ideal for women who need a moderate reduction in breast size.

Scarless

The scarless breast reduction is done with liposuction. It involves a small incision that is hidden in the armpit or breast crease. Through that opening, Dr. Larson will insert a cannula to gently break up and remove volume. This procedure has beautiful reshaping benefits and is best for patients who suffer from fatty breast tissue – not glandular development.

Reduction + Lift

A Tucson breast reduction is designed to remove unwanted volume, while a breast lift elevates and repositions sagging tissue. When the two procedures are combined, Dr. Larson is able to sculpt smaller breasts that are also perky and youthful.

In addition, he can reshape and reposition the areola for a comprehensive transformation.
